- replace command:
-
- :%s/^/>/
-
- Easy enough. Not so in RMAIL, replying does not include
- text, and I can't get regexp-replace to do the above replace.
-
- C-C C-Y will yank down the current message from your RMAIL buffer; it
- will be indented by four spaces with vanilla RMAIL. Replace-regexp
- replacing ``^'' (or ``^ '') with ``>'' should work; it does for me
- (remember that you have to be at the start of the text).
-
- Instead of doing the replace, you can make a trivial change to the
- code of RMAIL to cause it to insert ``>'' by default, or you can get
- the supercite package from
- archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/packages/sc-2.2.tar.Z
- which will do that and much more.
